Shingles Vaccine, MS & DMT's
Hi All, How many of you have had the
Shingles
Vaccine
? My PCP encouraged me to get it (the newer, double dose vaccine) because he told me that I was at greater risk than the general population to get Shingles.

Update on shingles vaccine
I said I would let you know how I went on with the
shingles
vaccine
. I had the vaccine two weeks ago tomorrow. I had a lovely nurse who was very friendly so I felt I could chat to her. I wanted to confirm that I was having the non live vaccine and she said yes, I'll go and get it out of the fridge.

Shingles Vaccine
I am 73 and have been invited for a shingles vaccination. I have PMR and Hashimotos thyroiditis and have had severe reactions to previous Covid jabs such that my consultant advised me not to have any further boosters. Does anyone have any advice or experience to share regarding the Shingles jab? I know

Shingles Vaccine
I am going for a shingles vaccination on 29th June. I know there has been information about it on here before but I can't find it. I know I need the Shingrix vaccine and believe that you need a 2nd one 2 months later. I would like to hear about your experiences of Shingrix. . Of course, I have googled

Shingles vaccine
My wife was refused the
shingles
vaccine
by her GP as she wasn't old enough (not over 70) we asked for it a year after she had shingles which she really suffered from and still has a bit of discomfort from. Has any MPN patients been refused because of their age?

Shingles vaccine
My husband has been called in for a shingles vaccination. Am i correct that he should ask for a non live vaccine as the love vaccine poses a risk to me as I am immune suppressed? I seem to remember hearing this somewhere. Still struggling to get answer fro my nurse advice line. Thanks

Methotrexate and Shingrix Vaccine
Could someone please advise whether I should stop my Methotrexate injection before I receive the
shingles
vaccine
, my Pred reduction seems to be going well and I am worried I will have a flare without the Methotrexate. Have finally got down to 7mg for the first time in 12 years.🤞🤞

Shingles Vaccine Questions
Is there an alternative to the live
vaccine
for
Shingles
? Do you have to be off steroids for 6 weeks before you can have the live vaccine. Can you have the alternative vaccine (if there is one) whilst on steroids? Thanks and information is welcomed.

non live shingles vaccine
I will be having my
shingles
vaccine
soon (70 in May) - should I ask for non live vaccine - Shingrax? I take 6 mg of prednisolone a day - GP says live vaccine ok if on less than 7.5 mg but check with nurse - should I go private if GP won’t let offer non live vaccine?

Shingles vaccination. I’ve been offered this vaccination but as this is a live vaccine, is it a wise move ?
